Yes. the aspect rato is now 108 x 82. This is to make it fit better in
the integrated gui. The shape is also closer to the shape of the 3D
board. Also this new shape look closer to a real board. I have never
seen a real board that's only 11 chequer wide across. Even the narrow
Plaspel boards is wider then 11 chequers.

It looked
better, the chequer animation now looks a bit cumbersome and most of all it
broke a lot of things:

I agree that the animation looks a bit cumbersome, but I think the new
shape looks better.

Yes, changing the aspect ratio has wide implications throught out the
source: gtkboard.c, htmlimages, and export.c

I think mose things are taken care of, except for the html images export.

Especially the html images are very sensiticve because some extra pixels
are added vertically to separate the dice from the points (otherwise
they overlap making it impossible to generate indepedent images for the
dice and points).

The html image export is broken (sorry for stating some time ago that it
worked, I only looked whether the files were generated), the sensitive area
for the dice is not where it should be, the problems with the dynamic board
numbers, the disappearing chequers in edit mode.

All this is issues that O stated in the mail when I commeted the code.

Aha, so this is where all these problems comes from!

Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

I like the new shape, but there should be some fixes to the animation
and the dynamic labels.
